DISK FOR CULTIVAIGR ATTACHMENTS.

Application filed Gctober 6, 1827'. Serial No. 224,382.

tongue attachment tierctor. It is well known that in the operation of the conventional double gang disk cultiwitor the inner disks of the gangs are so spaced that they do not stir and cultivate the corn sutficiently directly adjacent the corn stalks, frequently necer' Therefore, my invention aims to provide a pair of bull tongues for attachment adjacent the innermost disks of the two gangs and rigidly associated with the cultivator construction so that the earth directly adjacent the corn stalks will be cultivated an be caused to fall around the stalks covering weeds and grass which is necessary proper ci'iltivation of corn. 7

Theniost important object of the invention L0 provide a bull tongue attachment of this character that may be associated with generally conventional double gang disk cultivator-s without altering the construction thereof and without interfering with the proper operation of the cultivator disks.

Furthermore, the invention aims to pro vide such an attachment that is extremely simple and that may be readily attached to a conventional cultivator in a simple and expeditious manner.

lNith the foregoing and other objects inview as the nature of the invention will be better understood, the same comprises the novel form, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described, shown in the accompanying drawings and clai med.

In the drawings wherein like reference characters indicate (:orrcoonding iarts thrmighout the several view Figure 1 is a fragmentary rear elevation of a conventional double gang disk cultivator one gang thereof being shown and adjacent the inner disk of which is arranged one of the bull tongues.

Figure Qis a fragmentary view in side elevation of the cultivator at the inner end the main. unit for facilitating the attach- "itating a second use of the cultivator.

in the ment ct one of the bull tongues to the culivator.

l1 igure 4 is a perspective of a conventional ll-holt that is employed as certain of the means to secure the support for one of the bull tongues to the cultivator.

lfiig'ure 5 is a fragmentary front elevation of a conventional cultivator disclosing both.

the adjacent the innerdisks of ports to the cultivator frame.

Now having particular reference to the drawings, 55 designates generally the two spaced gangs of a double disk cultivator of conventional design. Broadly, my invention consists in the disposition of apair of bull tongues designated generally by the reference characters 6-6 at the inner disks of the two gangs and in slight spaced relation therewith.

,Each of the bull tongue units consistent an inverted U-shaped metallic strap 7 one leg of which is arranged against the inner side of the innermost vertical supporting bar A of that particular gangh as clearly disclosed in Figure 1. The lower end of said leg of the U-shaped strap is bolted to the usual tongue of the gang shaftboxing a to which the lower end of said bar A is attached. Arranged over this bar A is a U- bolt- 8 the ends of which are'threaded and passed through pair of openings 7 'l' in said ll-shaped strap at which nuts 9 are tl'ireaded t-l'iereon. Thus it will be seen that the outer leg of said strap is disposed. at the outer side or": the innermost disk of the particular gang and in spaced relation there-- with, Adjustahly' and pivotally secured to the lower end of the outermostleg a conventional bull tongue standard 10 to which is attached a generally conventional bull tongue 11. V

For bracing the outer leg of each of the attachment straps 7 to the cultivator frame there is provided a brace bar 12 the inner end of which is adapted to be bolted to the standard 10 at the point of its attachmentto the that is employed for bracing one of the suploc cultivator.

' and throivn against the cornsta ks for covering all surface. I

I described the invention as consisting of cer- V Invieiv or" the foregoing description When Considered in conjunction with the aeconr -panying drawings 1t Will be apparent that.

I have provided a highly novel, simple and extremely efiicient attachment for double gang cisk eultivatorsthat is ell adapted for all of the purposes heretofore designated, and even though I have herein shown and the operation grass and Weeds at the grounds tain detail structural elements, it is never theless to be understood that some changes may be made therein Without afiecting the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

Having thus described my invention, What I claim as new is 1. In a. disk cultivator attachment of the character described, an inverted U-shaped strap adapted for disposition over the innermost disk and to be anchored at its inner leg to the cultivator frame the outer leg of sand strap having spaced relation vvlth said CllSlLilIlCl a hull tongue arranged upon the lower endof the outer leg.

2." In a disk cultivator attachment of the character described, ineniher secured one end to the CIlltIViLtOYfl'MIK-i and being disposed over the innermost dis-k thereon, said member being provided with a depending portion, and a bull tongue arranged upon the lower end of sai depending portion.

, In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
